And who says that inanimate objects don't fight back? Linky Vengeful Gravestones
From the blog:
Odd Planet
Tuesday, August 21, 2007
It seems like a dangerous activity if you’re in the business of vandalizing church cemeteries.
In April a man vandalizing a cemetery by knocking over gravestones in Lilburn, GA was injured when one of the gravestones fell on him. His leg was crushed under the weight of the heavy stone and he lay on the ground wailing for two hours until someone came and rescued him.
You have to wonder if any passerby thought the cemetery was haunted that night.
Then, on May 6th, Michael Schreiber, 22, was in the midst of vandalizing a Calumet Park cemetery in Merrillville, Ind., when his legs were broken by a half ton gravestone that fell on him. He couldn’t call out for help as he was unconscious.
He’d already knocked over 14 gravestones when the half ton one fell on him.
It was about time one fought back.
Mmm cheese.
I vid, therefor I am.
The hardest lesson is that love can be so fair to some, and so cruel to others. Even those who would be gods.

Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.

I seem to recall that every year a few people get squashed while trying to rob soda vending machines; they think that if the machine is tilted forward cans will fall out, but don't realise that a full machine weighs something like a half ton and is top heavy. Okay, not quite the threat I thought, but it does happen http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/a/005445.htm
